Default 18x7.5 newage, which tyres

I have a 2002 bug with 18x7.5 inovit redlines and need some new tyres.they had 215/35's on before but found the ride a little harsh.

What are other people running?

What would you recommend?

Thanks

225 / 40 / 18 should give a better ride

Or just take them off & sell them to me

225 / 40 / 18 should give a better ride +1 it most definately will,the side profile of your original tyres would of been short and give a hard ride.SJ.

Thanks M444GY :-)

Sorry Justme103, I've spent the last few days re-furbing them from white to a rota type colour bronze.
